Best on the market by Morley Dotes (Flushing, New York USA)  5 Stars

I just recertified my BLS and learned quite a bit about this item. Aside from being the only one available without a prescription, it has also never been recalled for any reason (in fairness to the other brands, I do not know which have been recalled). It is very easy to use, and really, even a kid could use it. It is very straight forward, however, you really need to take a CPR course because there are many things you need to know. As for this, yes, you will need scissors (make sure they can cut through an underwire bra), a razor (too much chest hair will not let this stick), a dry cloth (often times if someone is having a heart attack they sweat a lot, and the pads may not stick), and order an extra set of pads, just in case. The chances of someone being saved with CPR and an AED are so much greater than with CPR alone that it makes sense to have this (if you are considering this, you likely have a reason). Currently, I believe you can get a $500 tax credit (at least in NY) for each one you buy. Also, I was told in the class that adult pads can be used on children, however, child pads cannot be used on adults (not enough charge). Pad placement on adults is completely different than the placement for a child. Again, you should have some kind of training. Also, if you do keep gloves with this, please buy nitrile and not latex. The last thing you want is to touch someone with latex gloves if you do not know if they are allergic.

AED by Wayne P. Wagner 5 Stars

Good product. Only wish it came with extra adult pads. People should also be aware that you will need to add disposable razor, gloves, and towel for use. I also wish there was information on pediatric pads at time of purchase. I searched the web and I could not find an AED available for purchase without a Doctor's prescription that was adaptable for use on pediatrics. I am a DC, EMT, and CPR instructor for the ARC, and purchased this item for my office. I hope I don't need to use it, but it gives me peace of mind to know that I am prepared.
